It’s Thursday. Hot damn tamale, baby! The 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X is the fiercest Corvette yet—an electrified hybrid supercar that pushes the American sports car into true hypercar territory. It pairs a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 with an upgraded electric front motor for an eye-watering 1,250 total horsepower and all-wheel drive, delivering blistering acceleration (well under 2 seconds to 60 mph and quarter-mile times in the 8–9 second range) that rivals far more expensive exotics. Beyond raw speed, the ZR1X blends advanced aero, carbon-ceramic brakes, and refined chassis tech with a refreshed digital cockpit, making it both a record-shattering performer and a surprisingly usable daily driver.
For a deep-dive, nitty-gritty review of the Corvette ZR1X, be sure to check out Doug DeMuro’s video featured today.

My favorite part comes just after the 25 minute mark when Doug reacts to punching the accelerator.
